A Book for Bear — Ellen Ramsey

"An endearing picture book that showcases the lengths readers will go to find the perfect book . . . this lovely book is one to seek out."-- School Library Journal

In this charming and heartfelt story, a book-loving bear and a book-loving girl hatch a plan to find the perfect book for them to read together.

Bear loves books. When Bear decides he wants a book of his very own, he and his best friend, Ellen, hatch a plan. But sneaking a bear into school, a library, and a bookstore proves to be harder than they thought. Will Bear ever find a book of his very own?

With charming and timeless words from debut author Ellen L. Ramsey and brought to life by MacKenzie Haley, illustrator of Dolly Parton's Billy the Kid Makes it Big, this is an endearing story of a determined young bear and his journey to find the perfect book.

Praise for A Book for Bear:

"Adults sharing the book should encourage children to write and illustrate and, if possible, read their own books. A pleasant story about books and reading to share with kids and bears."--Kirkus reviews
